Ingredients
- 2 whole large cauliflower heads
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the cauliflower: Remove the outer leaves and trim the base. Cut each cauliflower head into thick 'steak' slices about 1.5 inches thick. Each head should yield about 2 'steaks', with leftover florets for another use.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the cauliflower steaks in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F/190°C).
Step 5
Once the grill is ready, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Remove the cauliflower steaks from the marinade and place them on the grill.
Step 6
Grill the cauliflower steaks for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a nice char and are tender when pierced with a fork. Baste with remaining marinade halfway through grilling for extra flavor.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of vegan side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
